Bringing my husband

I’m looking forward to Texas and L&B
I haven’t signed up for the event yet. And I’m sure this question has been brought up before.
My husband is not a boxer (I know!)
We won’t be staying at camp. I hope to find a near by hotel.
My question is, he’ll need a pass to get in, but he won’t want a clue book or a patch.
What should I do when I sign up?

There is not a separate admission price for noxers. However, the location of the event is open to the public while L&B is going on. I suppose that he could simply show up with you and pay the admission fee for the park directly to the park. I think it is $5 for adults.

This is from the L&B XX website:

Registration (Adult $49, Child (age 6-12) $20, Child (under 6) Free) – mandatory for each person

Children under 6 DO NOT receive a registration package (clue book etc). If you want a package for them, purchase the older child registration instead.

Paid registration includes:

Park entrance fees
Name tag and lanyard – please wear this during the weekend
Bound clue book
Patch
Raffle ticket
Surprise gift(s)
Covers facilities rental costs, all group activities, decorations, and materials needed for the event

Thanks for the info. I have registered and made all me reservations and am coming from Georgia. The group rate at Best Western seems to be the best price right now. Southwest Airlines the cheapest flights and no baggage fees. Some airlines would be same price for the flight but added fees. If you find flight for less later on Southwest would give you a credit but the "I wanna fly" tickets are non-refundable. Used Priceline for best price on rental car. See ya'll in October!

If a non-boxing spouse plans to spend the weekend mostly elsewhere (playing golf or hanging out in Austin etc), then I don't see a need for them to pay registration. They can enter the park for free (the park only charges if you hike on the trails).

However, if they will be hanging out in the facilities, attending the evening activities, and going out on the trails with you, I consider them participants and feel they should pay registration. Otherwise it isn't fair to the other spouses who have already paid.

I'll leave it up to your judgement based on your situation.

Thanks for the information.

Ok, all set! 😄

We’re registered and I got the meal plan.
I just need to get plane tickets and a hotel room.
See you on the Texas trails!

I did just the opposite, got my plane ticket first then registered for the event. Had to make sure flight tickets were not - - skyhigh
